Description

Field of the Patent Application



[0001] The present patent application relates to nylon composite materials and preparation methods thereof, and more particularly, to a high wear-resistant nylon composite material for rollers on an airport freight vehicle and a preparation method thereof.

Background



[0002] Polyamide (PA) is commonly known as nylon, and amide groups of the polyamide are polarized and can form a hydrogen bond, and hence polyamide has excellent mechanical properties, and is a type of engineering plastics with good shock resistance and relatively strong toughness. This material is characterized by: 1. high crystallinity, high surface hardness, high wear resistance, small friction coefficient, good self-lubricating and silencing properties; 2. good low temperature performance and heat resistance; 3. non-toxicity, odorlessness, non-putridness, being self-extinguishing, good weather resistance, but poor dyeability; 4. good chemical stability, good seawater resistance, good solvent resistance, good oil resistance, but poor acid resistance; 5. good electrical insulation, which, however, is susceptible to temperature; 6. great water absorbing capability, and its dimensional stability and electrical properties being susceptible to water.

[0003] Nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66) are the main varieties of nylon. Nylon 6 also has good physical, mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, impact resistance, outstanding chemical resistance and oil resistance. Nylon 66 is a kind of uniform thermoplastic high molecular polymers with symmetrical molecular structure containing six methylene, having high strength, wear resistance, solvent resistance, good self-lubricating characteristic, wide usage temperature range and other advantages, and being one kind of the engineering plastics that are relatively widely used.

[0004] Since nylon has excellent performance, nylon is widely used in industrial manufacturing, such as automobiles, instruments and meters, machineries, textiles and so on. The material is mostly used as components and structural parts. However, its great water absorbing capability and poor dimensional stability limits it from wider usage. The water absorbing capability of nylon can be reduced by filling enhancement modifier, so as to ensure that nylon works in highly hot and humid conditions, and in the meanwhile to increase rigidity, to reduce the high temperature creep degeneration and shrinkage rate, and to improve the dimensional stability, the impact strength, the abrasion resistance and the flame resistance. Generally, the enhancement modifier is mainly glass fibers, and the amount of the added glass fibers has a relatively large impact on the mechanical properties (large impact, tensile, and bending strength) of the composite material.

[0005] As being well known, rollers need to be mounted on lifting platform vehicles as the existing airport transportation equipment. The rollers can push a container and a container board by a roller shaft to move back and forth, left and right, or rotate. A roller made of aluminum alloy or other metal alloy provided by the existing technology is not reasonable, because the same metal has large intersolubility, and is easy to adhere and thereby be worn. In addition, there are two different mechanisms for abrasion of aluminum alloy under different loads. Aluminum alloy worn under low load is referred as slight abrasion or oxidation abrasion. The surface of aluminum alloy forms a layer of dense oxide film, and the thickness of the oxide film is up to about 2[micro]m. The layer of the oxide film is ruptured and falling off under the action of friction forces, thereby producing some shredded shaped worn debris. Especially, the rollers are prone to skid during the raining days. Consequently, the freights being transported are out of control, and the freights need to be manually pushed to be adjusted to the right direction. Many accidents occur every year in which the workers are injured due to slipping and falling when pushing the freights. In addition, the existing rollers made of aluminum alloy are prone to wear the bottom board of the container and the container board, and to generate too much noise when friction occurs, thereby causing damages to human ears.

[0006] A "Reinforced nylon compound material applied to external ornament, e.g. shell of the electric tool, comprises polyamide 66 resin or polyamide 6 resin, compatilizer, glass fiber or inorganic mineral, barium sulfate, and lubricant" is already known form a Chinese patent application having the application number CN 101314672 A by CHAI Z; CHEN X and YANG T. From patent application EP0570632 (A1) a Mass polymerized styrene polymer composites reinforced with a mixture of fibrous and spherical particles is known. EP0346825 A2, a molding resin composition composed of a polyamide or a resin mixture of a polyamide resin and a polymer of a monomer having a vinyl group, and an inorganic filler consisting of a glass filler and calcium carbonate.

[0068] The above components are proportionately placed in a high speed mixing machine to be mixed for 5-10 minutes and thereby form a mixture, and then the mixture is sent out to a screw extruder to be extruded and granulated at a processing temperature of 23 5-280°C, and the screw rotational speed of the screw extruder is 400-600 rpm. The combination of the screws may be a specific combination that has a good dispersive characteristic.

[0069] The present patent application also provides a roller made from the high wear-resistant nylon 6 (PA6), nylon 66 (PA66), or nylon 6 (PA6)/nylon 66 (PA66) composite materials, and the roller is used for lifting platform devices in airport freight vehicles. As shown in FIG. 1, a through shaft hole 110 is defined in a center of the roller 110, and a rotation axis of the roller can be installed in the shaft hole 111. The roller 110 is fixed to an axis rack of the roller for transportation through the rotation axis of the roller. Front and rear ends 112 of the roller 110 are configured to have flat structures to match the other tracks. An outer surface 113 of the roller 110 has a frosted texture so as to increase the friction force between a bottom board of a container (and a container board) and the roller during the transportation of freights. The roller 110 made of nylon material is durable, and is not prone to be worn or to skid. The selection of the nylon materials in accordance with the present patent application is very reasonable. Especially, in any environment and weather, the roller can be used to transport freights under easy control. The friction force between the bottom board of the container (and the container board) and the roller during the transportation of freights is increased, so that the roller is not prone to skid, to produce noise during transportation, or to be worn. The roller is also environmentally friendly. The durability of the roller is good, the toughness and the stiffness of the roller are exceptionally strong, and the roller can withstand relatively large impact. In addition, besides that the composite material has skid resistance, the frosted texture of the outer surface of the roller can provide additional skid resistance. The roller is configured to avoid metal powder flaking off during the rotation between one metal member and another metal member thereby polluting the environment, and to avoid the metal powder entering human eyes and respiratory tracts thereby making damages to the human body. Further, the roller is configured to reduce the harsh sound and vibrational noise caused by the friction between one metal member and another metal member during transportation, and thereby to reduce the damage to human ears. Furthermore, the roller is of good quality and inexpensive.

[0070] It is to be understood that the high wear-resistant nylon 6 (PA6), nylon 66 (PA66), and nylon 6 (PA6)/nylon 66 (PA66) composite materials can also be used to make other products, which may be widely applied in automobiles, machinery equipment connectors, gears, oil field equipment, instruments and meters, textile equipment, electrical and electronic equipment, household appliances.

[0071] While the present patent application has been shown and described with particular references to a number of embodiments thereof, it should be noted that various other changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present patent application.
